To all whom at may concern. i

Be it known that I, JOHN B. DAVIDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Dartmouth, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Game-Boards, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the drawings. hereto anneXed, in which- Figure 1. is aviewin perspectiveof myimproved game board. Fig. 2. is a view invertical section of the device for casting the quoits; and Figs. 3. and 4. are views of some of the details.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the a, represents my improved game board con-. sisting of a shallow tray, having on itsinside surface, the raised edge I). surrounding the pins or stakes c. The cornersof the board are provided with the spring casting devices 2,

consisting of the pivoted lever f. adapted to be operated by a spring impelled plunger. At the foot of the lever, is secured to the board, the block, g. (Fig. 4.),having the curved notch h, adapted tofit the curve of the rings 61.

The game is played by laying a ring d,

against the foot of the lever f, with its edge sudden stroke of the finger, on the top of the lever f.; the object being, to give the ring such a cast, as to land it within the inclosure of the edge b, and cause it to encircle, one of the stakes c. When it is desired to give the cast, by means of the finger on the lever f. instead of by the plunger, the block Z, (Fig. 3.) is placed under the shoulder 7t, of the plunger, which block, holds it, in a retracted position.

I claim-- A game apparatus consistingof the shallow quadrangular tray at, having its upper surface divided into two fields, by a raised edge b, and having its inner field provided with the said tray provided with pivoted levers f, adapted to be actuated by a spring impelled plunger-,or the finger; and metallicrings, adapted to be cast by the levers f. within the central field and encircle thepins c, all as shown and described.
